How to make the most simple, delicious pie ever?

The supermarket I always go to had a huge sellout on puff pastry the other day I was there and I decided to buy a few packages of puff pastry and see what I can make out of these. Puff pastry is, as you probably already know, great for both sweet and savory recipes. And buying, pre-prepared puff pastries makes your recipe so much easier to make. I usually cook or bake sweet puff pastry recipes so decided instead to go for a savory one today. I ended up making a delicious puff pastry pie with ricotta, tomato, garlic and so much more!

What are the flavors?

The flavors are simple, fantastic, luxurious and in this recipe I combine rather classical flavors too. I combine ricotta cheese, tomato, red onion, garlic and fresh basil.
